The “organizing convention” of San Joaquin meets this Saturday. What a sorry mess.
O God, You are King of kings and Lord of lords. You are Jehovah-Sabaoth. We cry out for Your children in San Joaquin who have wandered away from You, listening to what pleases them and abandoning Your gospel. Open their ears so that they will not be led astray by a false gospel.
Open their ears to hear the Good Shepherd as He calls to them. Open their eyes to distinguish the hireling from the faithful shepherd.
Raise up faithful shepherds who speak with boldness the reality of the death and resurrection of Jesus. Raise up faithful shepherds who proclaim that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Raise up faithful shepherds who will lead Your people into Your arms of love.
We cry out, Lord. We cry out for a church enfolded in Your love. Amen.
